A man whose last address was in Orange, N.J., was charged overnight with possession with the intent to deliver heroin after throwing the drug from a window in a West Ward apartment as Easton police patrolled nearby, Capt. Scott Casterline said this morning.

Damon Hairston, 22, is also charged with possession of heroin, and tampering with evidence, Casterline wrote in an email.

Two other people taken into custody at 110 S. Ninth St. were released and a third person was held on a warrant, Casterline said Tuesday evening.

Hairston was seen Tuesday evening by an Easton police officer as Hairston was throwing the drug from an upper floor window, Casterline said.
